The Civil and Structural Engineering with a Foundation Year at the University of Sheffield is your pathway to a rewarding career shaping the built environment. If you aspire to design and construct the infrastructure of the future but don't yet meet the standard entry requirements, this comprehensive five-year programme provides the essential grounding you need. You will explore core engineering principles, including mathematics, physics, and introductory engineering concepts, preparing you for the rigorous BEng or MEng degrees that follow. This course is ideal for students passionate about problem-solving and eager to contribute to sustainable development through innovative civil and structural engineering solutions.
This full-time, on-campus degree is delivered over five years, with the first year dedicated to foundational studies. You will then progress through core modules in structural engineering, water infrastructure, fluid mechanics, and geotechnical mechanics, gaining both analytical and design expertise. Distinctive features include an integrated design project in your third year, where you'll tackle a real-world urban regeneration challenge, and the opportunity to explore advanced topics like bridge engineering and sustainable construction. You will graduate with the skills and knowledge to pursue diverse roles in civil and structural engineering, contributing to significant projects both domestically and internationally.
